They seem really great and I was positively surprised when I went there, so I would be glad to study there.

the overall interview wasn't too bad, (at least i don't think it was!) but i did fluff up one of the questions. so i won't be shocked if i get a rejection...but i'm hoping not cause i really liked the uni!

your ukcat was so good! how did u find the interview? and did you get your fifth option tho?

I'm a graduate, so I don't have a fifth option really. I found the interview really intimidating in all honesty. I prepared badly as it was right before my exams (literally the day before) and I had my dissertation lab work to do as well. I felt like I made the mistake of not preparing as well for the interview as I should have. I could have done much, much better in retrospect.

But it isn't all too bad, I still have my job as a HCA at Macclesfield Gen. and I applied to a masters abroad at the University of British Columbia to study Pathology and that seems to be going quite well, I think. I just I hope I get that at least...

I think the biggest mistake I made was applying to four competitive schools though, I won't do that next time...

Anyway, congratulations to everyone who got an offer. I hope to join you maybe in a year or two.

Thank you KRM, you give me so much hope!

And Congratulations, you really deserve this then I hope you ace them OCSEs and all that other stuff!

But the things is, they still deemed you good enough for an interview so I'm certain you'll get one again next year! When you get the feedback from them just dissect it and see where you can work on. King's was my first interview this year and I did a pretty bad job of it too haha. But I got it together at UCL and Sheffield and ended up with offers from both. I think the first time round applying for medicine is always going to be a smooth ride or a learning curve and unfortunately luck does dictate that a bit (like you having an exam just before the interview). Once that's all over you can then just focus your time and energy on your application and it'll all work out in the end!

sorry, i meant for accepting the offer on track- apparently we have a a deposit to pay?

do you know what the max maintenance loan we are eligible for?

Oh, oops! I'm not sure about the deposit, maybe that will be in an email they send out after we firm? Not sure about the max maintenance loan either, tbh I was expecting another round of rejections so not looked into it much!

Quick question, did you apply for medicine in your last year of your degree then?
